The 5 Percent Challenge According to a story on the Fast Company magazine website, if you spend 5 percent of your time on creative activities, you will not take away from how much work you get done.57 Furthermore, you will find yourself flooded with new ideas and innovative thinking. You can get creative inspiration from activities such as going to an art mu- seum; attending a concert, play, or ballet; visiting an historic landmark, monument, or park; sitting next to a lake or river; painting or potting; attending a lecture by an artist.

Step 1: Plan two or three artistic activities for the next week that will add up to about two hours of your time. That means two hours out of the normal 40-hour workweek, or two hours out of 112 waking hours, which is actually less than 2 percent of your time.

Step 3: Answer the following questions.

1. Did you feel guilty taking time “away”?
